High tides break records in California

Linda Hawley has never seen her marine fueling station flood like this. Water has entered the Newport Beach office, and her answer when asked about anything comparable is brief: "No, never. Never like this."

Her account is part of Carter Evans' CBS Mornings report on record-breaking king tides along California's coast. The Short has drawn about a quarter-million views in its first 15 hours, far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for that format.

Evans reports that the full-moon tides reached eight feet, two inches at Los Angeles Harbor. He stands knee-deep on Pacific Coast Highway, a couple of blocks from the ocean, while footage shows flooded streets and backyards. One woman describes water arriving "like a fast rushing river."

The report also shows a driver being rescued from a flooded car north of San Francisco and coastal flooding in South Florida. But its closing scenes return to the practical work of keeping the next tide outside: a resident planning a temporary mini seawall for his garage, and large sand berms protecting homes in Long Beach. Reporting there at night, Evans warns that winter storms could make conditions worse.
